Sweet Potato and Celery Root Mash - 17.6g Carbs, 2.2g Fiber, 0.2g Sugar

You will be so surprised when you taste this dish! To balance the
sweet potatoes, we've added celery root, chives, and garlic, plus
a dab of Greek yogurt and butter.
Prepare: 10 min
Cook: 22 min
Servings: 4

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed (about 10 oz)
3 small celery roots, peeled and cubed (about 6 oz)
1 clove garlic, peeled
1 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 Tbsp Greek yogurt
2 Tbsp chives, chopped

Place the veggies in a medium saucepan and cover with water by
2 inches. Bring to boil, then reduce heat and simmer about
20 minutes, until tender. Drain the vegetables and pour them
back into the pan.

Using a potato masher, mash the veggies while cooking over
medium-high heat to ensure your dish is not watery.

After the water has evaporated, which should take about two
minutes, remove the veggies from heat, then stir in the butter,
yogurt, and chives.

Serve warm.

Tips - -
Celery root is also known as celeriac. To some, it is not the
prettiest looking taproot. It can have small finger like tubes
twisting and turning around itself. Deep peeling with a paring
knife is required due to the knobby surface. It's lovely raw
or cooked and perfect for an end of meal breath refresher.
Peeled celery root will turn brown quickly so always have a
lemon on hand to squeeze onto the flesh or cook immediately after
cutting.
